/*
BRICS - an association of emerging national economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
Originally "BRIC" before the inclusion of South Africa in 2010.

With the possible exception of Russia, the BRICS members are all developing or newly industrialised countries, 
but they are distinguished by their large, fast-growing economies and 
significant influence on regional and global affairs. 

As of 2013, the five BRICS countries represent almost 3 billion people, with a combined nominal GDP of US$14.8 trillion,
and an estimated US$4 trillion in combined foreign reserves
